Intent: To develop a simple system to significantly decrease EMP damage for small powered items, such as blasters, lightsabers, and datapads.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Browncoat Arms & Industrial | ATC
Model: Pulse-Resistant Covering
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-produced
Material: Synthetic rubber(the case itself), Diatium(microcapacitors)
Description: During an EMP, there's a high chance that most small bits of advanced technolog.y, from datapads and holoprojectors to lightsabers and blasters, will have their circuitry fried and reduced to ashes by the sheer power of such an electromagnetic wave. Using a system similar to the capacitor armor of the Angel-class interceptor, Subach has developed a covering that can be applied to a large amount of small items, in order to protect them from the power of an electromagnetic pulse.
In its simplest description, the case is synthetic rubber, inside of which diatium microcapacitors wired together have been inserted. When the pulse strikes the object, these microcapacitors absorb the energy of the pulse, operating together as a single high-capacity energy storage device. Once the EMP has passed, the capacitors discharge, releasing the stored up energy harmlessly into the air.
Being that taking the covering on and off of an object eventually risks wire crimping and breakage, Subach recommends that coverings be replaced once every five years if removed at least once a week. If left on the object, it should be replaced, at a minimum, once every twenty years, well beyond the typical service life of such a standard device. Subach coverings are not guaranteed to make your device waterproof or shockproof, and it is recommended that you both purchase a durable brand of item and have it waterproofed.
This design was bought at auction for full production rights by ATC.
